With apologies to Winston Churchill, this is not the end of Apple, but it may be the beginning of the end of Apple:
On Streaming: Apple, Beats & Spotify | Om Malik: "...If that brand thing is indeed true, then Apple is in big trouble — because that implies that the Apple brand is not as cool and premium as it has been. I don’t think that is the case. Revenues aren’t really a problem for Apple. So that leaves them buying into a new category — aka headphones. It makes no sense since Apple can make sh_tty headphones (and some say they do) and get even more premium pricing than Beats headphones....Bottom-line: I am down on this deal. This is a reactive move — at best. Steve Jobs’ Apple would have pushed to make something better, but even he struggled to come to terms with Internet and Internet thinking. That hasn’t changed."
